Description

The Austin Allegro 1300 was a variant of the Allegro range, produced by British Leyland from 1973 to 1982. It was equipped with a 1.3-liter A-Series inline-four engine, providing slightly more power and better performance compared to the 1100 model. The car featured a front-wheel-drive layout and utilized the Hydragas suspension system, offering a comfortable ride for its class.

Known for its distinctive rounded styling and spacious interior, the Allegro 1300 was available in multiple trim levels, catering to different market segments. Despite its practical design, it faced criticism for reliability issues and build quality concerns. Over time, the Allegro developed a reputation as an unconventional British classic, appreciated for its charm and unique engineering.
